I took Religious Studies in college (The Study of Religion, not a certain one) and a lot of people believe that Religion was created the same time Language was. Calling the Sky "Sky", became personalized and soon the Sky would be mad. Sky God.

Our brains (as of when I was 14) use 6-7%, people use different parts. Maybe Faith and Hope have their own place, which we could use as a vehicle to reach other parts (like ESP). If you visualize a Free Throw (in Basketball) before you shoot it, it raises the chance that you're gonna make it. I guess it's that positive imaging thing.
I say religion is indeed evil. Religion has consistently thrown a stick in wheel of progress and education. Every religion at one point or another has discouraged education among its practitioners, or has been terrified of new scientific discoveries that disprove its creeds. I think that anything that puts a limit on human potential is evil.
